The next topic is what Fang Xiyue mentioned about returning ownership of each city to everyone.
Fang Xiyue knew they had wanted it for a long time, but she didn't expect them to bring it up so early, not even after the international competition.
It was the commander who brought it up first. It seems he was worried that he would become too powerful, especially since he was a level 7 ability user.
Of course, she doesn't know if she's overthinking it. Anyway, she won't lose anything by returning it, so there's no difference between returning it now and returning it later.
"This is the fee you owe me. Now that you've paid, I'll return ownership to you."
However, as you all know, I can only take ownership twice. You can do so as long as you've thought it through. I've said before that I would return it to you, and I keep my word.
The reason I planned to delay until after the International Superpower Competition was because I was worried about foreign countries invading again. However, things have been quite peaceful during this period, so I'll just give it back to you directly.
However, once the ownership is revoked, the water, electricity, and internet services I provided will also disappear.
I will grant you individual access to communicate with each of you city lords, but that's all I can do.
Fang Xiyue originally had no intention of canceling the supply of water and electricity, but the system said it was a related issue, and she had no choice.
Fang Xiyue distributed the printed bills and ownership termination documents to everyone, and then they all silently began transferring money.
Actually, they were somewhat embarrassed, because the situation was urgent and they made that decision to protect the survivors in each city.
Now that the crisis is over, their desire to take back the territory is indeed somewhat unethical.
Now they're saying the water, electricity, and internet are going to be removed too. They think this might be something Xi Yue is doing on purpose because she's angry, since these things were installed before the ownership was transferred.
They were still somewhat hesitant about removing the water, electricity, and internet, but in the end, the desire to regain ownership prevailed.
Anyway, there are more people with superpowers now, so we don't have to worry about water, and it's okay if we don't have electricity. We can cook as long as we have fire. As for the internet, we were fine before we didn't have it.
“Xi Yue, I still insist on giving up our Haicheng, and I want to permanently transfer ownership of the entire Haicheng to you.”
In this way, our Haicheng will no longer have to worry about being attacked by enemy countries. Our two cities are close to each other and both are by the sea, so if an enemy country attacks, the coastal city will be the first target.
I am really worried and have no way to guarantee the safety of all the survivors, so I will give you ownership of this property.
I'll just consider this working for you, haha. You give me a small salary each month as a token of your interest. I don't ask for great wealth or status; I just hope the people of Haicheng can live and work in peace and contentment.
Commander Song neither transferred any money to Fang Xiyue nor signed any document to terminate ownership.
“Okay, Dad, then I will help you protect Haicheng and its people.”
However, I won't be paying you a salary. You will still manage Haicheng, and the tax revenue will go to Haicheng. Just give me 2 billion crystal coins every year.
Fang Xiyue smiled at Commander Song. She was very happy to be trusted like this, especially since he was her husband's father.
The other division commanders, who also came from coastal cities, froze upon hearing this. They had already signed the papers, so why was Division Commander Song not following the expected procedure?
That makes them seem petty, and what Commander Song worried about could actually happen.
Although holding a competition of supernatural abilities is meant to symbolize friendship between nations, if they discover that firearms can be used to attack, will they really not invade again?
What should we do now?
Looking at the signature on the release document, they really wanted to slap their own hands. How could they have signed it so easily? Now, if they said they would give it back to Fang Xiyue, would she still be willing?
They clearly agreed to talk about it after the International Superpower Competition, but now they've brought it up ahead of time, which seems too eager. Xi Yue is definitely a little angry.
Now there's no way to turn back. I just don't know if Licheng and Haicheng will be able to send someone to help if an enemy country really attacks!
"Um, Xiyue, if it's really as Commander Song said, and the enemy country attacks again, can we still hire your superhumans to help us?"
Several teachers who had a relationship with Fang Xiyue quickly asked her questions.
"Of course, I have no reason to turn away business. As long as you have the crystal coins, we can certainly send troops."
However, if we encounter heavy weaponry, we'll prioritize survival; after all, we can't risk our lives for crystal coins.
Anyway, the 90,000 people in Licheng are all soldiers, so it's not impossible for them to go out and earn some extra money occasionally.
After all, there weren't enough zombies in Licheng for them to go around, and now they actually had the idea of raising zombies, not at home, but by designating an area as their territory.
This way, they can level up more, and then they can kill those zombies to get high-level crystal cores.
Normally, they can be used as sparring partners to improve the combat power of superhumans and upgrade their skills more quickly.
The proposal is already on Fang Xiyue's desk; she'll decide whether to implement it after she gets back.
"That's good. We knew Xiyue wouldn't abandon us."
With Fang Xiyue's assurance, the city commanders finally breathed a sigh of relief. They would feel guilty for the rest of their lives if the people in their cities were attacked by the war because of them.
Then Fang Xiyue obtained the signed termination agreement and had the system help her terminate the ownership relationship.
In an instant, the cities changed. The people who had been living in the safe zone and completely shielded from the sounds of zombies suddenly heard the roars of zombies outside the safe zone.
This made them feel a little uncomfortable, and they even unconsciously trembled.
